I have been admiring lingyan temple for a long time, a thousand-year-old temple, and its history dates back to the ancient dynasty more than 1600 years ago. And it ranks first among the four ancient temples in the mainland. Although I am an atheist, it does not prevent my love of Buddhist culture and my yearning for mountaineering.
When I arrived, it was already 10:00 a.m., and after quickly changing tickets to enter the temple, I heard the Sanskrit sound of the Daxiong Treasure Hall, and after entering, I learned that the great monk was leading the laymen and believers to do prayers. Sometimes many things are not understood but perceived to be very practical. For example: Buddha's voice. The soothing sound of Sanskrit sounds in the ears, as if you can let go of the worries in your heart, purify the inner dust, and make people's hearts quiet. It is very happy to see the prayer, these things are very novel, but also a kind of learning and admiration of ancient culture. I hope that in the future, faith can be formed in the heart, and the direction of life of people with faith is clear. It is not interesting to walk on the stone bridge like the crowd of hiss, but only to walk on the stone bridge, and not to think about the past and present lives of the stone bridge. (Ananda said, I would like to incarnate as a stone bridge.) Five hundred years of wind, five hundred years of sun, five hundred years of rain, just ask her to walk over the bridge. ）
The Hall of a Thousand Buddhas is famous at home and abroad, not only because of the solemn appearance of the main Buddha and Buddha, but also because of the vivid charm of the Buddha, the posture is dashing, there are compassion for the heavens and people, the angry eyes and the vajra, the quiet and dignified Guanyin, and the smile and the beauty of the world. Buddha statues are held up and thrown to enjoy the worship of the world. Such sculptural skills are worthy of the name of the prosperous Buddha of the Thousand Buddhas Hall of the Ancient Buddha Temple.
The joy of mountaineering is to see the rainbow after experiencing wind and rain, it takes physical strength and perseverance, insisting on insisting on seeing the mountains and small, seeing the mountains high and artificial peaks, this sense of condescension, I think it is not born, always need to go through hardships and then cut through thorns, in order to have. I thought that life is the same, no matter whether you are born poor, rich, physically disabled, healthy, if you want to see the scenery of your dreams, there must always be a process of struggle, this process must be difficult, you need to pay more mental and physical strength than others, and the process is painful for a long time. Only when success comes, can we feel comfortable, and painful memories can become successful experiences.
When I climbed to the top of the mountain to take a souvenir photo, I accidentally stored the pagoda in the ancient Buddhist temple on the photo. At the top of the pagoda, the eight king kongs dragged eight iron chains, like the mythical lock demon tower. The pagoda is divided into nine floors, each of which is locked for the great monster of the world, and contains the eight great Vajras of my Buddha. Although the story is untrue, it can really be remembered, and we will mention this tower two days later, which confirms the truth that a beautiful story is far easier for us to accept than historical facts.
The second scene of the top of the mountain, one of which is the red gate, is actually an offering hall built for the big Buddha carved into the stone wall, during which the incense is flourishing, which shows that the popularity of the Buddha at the top of the mountain for six hundred years is good, and the other scene is called the Nest Crane Pavilion, which was originally thought to be the place where the cranes on the top of the mountain nested. Standing in or around the pavilion, you can see the rolling mountains, the mountains are lined with trees, and the fog is swirling in between, which is not like a human scene. The entire ancient Buddhist temple under the mountain is in full view, and the shadows are as small as ants, like dust, and this is indeed true relative to the universe. Shouting on the mountain will always have an echo, big or small, old, or ashamed to speak, or afraid of influencing others, always watching young people shout indulgently, in fact, they are bound by the rules of the world and become unfree. Perhaps only the childlike heart can be carefree, act wantonly, truly enjoy the present, and can shout carefreely to the mountains.
There is no road in the world, and the more people who walk, the more they become the road. When I went down the hill, I walked a small road, which may not be called a road, but it was really far away from the hustle and bustle of the stone steps. The quiet environment is disturbing, and the presence of no road marks under our feet does not tell us whether the trip is in the right direction. It is said that it is easy to go up the mountain and difficult to go down the mountain, and this is especially true for people with a burden. The mountains stand up, almost vertically. Moreover, the road has a ring of tree roots, large rocks, and even slippery waterways, and it is impossible to go down to the mountain and try to go up the mountain again. We can only continue to move forward with a hard scalp, using the coiled roots of the coiled trees on the way down the mountain as a retention of the big tree, the boulders lying across the road as the retention of the mountain, and the wet and slippery waterway as the retention of the spring water in the mountain. In this way, the dangerous mountain road has also been taken out of the childish fun and out of the artistic conception. Just when the twilight is approaching, the sun is setting, and the heart is afraid, it still has not given up the chosen path, and still strides forward. Finally, the Emperor Tian did not pay off, finally saw the willows and flowers, and insisted on walking to the end of the trip, which is also the starting point of our trip. Life is nothing more than that.
Originally, the green lantern did not return to the guest, but it was left with wind and dust due to turbid wine. We are all born with the heart of a Buddha, but very few of us have the heart of a Buddha, only because the red dust is soaked with color, but there are few green lotuses that can come out of the mud without staining. Greed, turbulence, and delusion in human nature have made your life improve, and all kinds of bonds have followed, but they have also kept you away from the Pure Land of the Buddha. May there be peace when you come and peace when you return.
